I skimmed through it, it's actually a decent article.

No of course not but I subscribe to the original Reddiquette philosophy. Downvotes arne’t for disagreement. They were originally a form of user-moderation to stop spam. Unfortunately about a decade ago after the Digg exodus the users of Reddit forgot that original usage and so you’d end up being downvoted and not knowing why. It doesn’t foster debate or discussion. It’s a cheap way to snipe someone down without being responsible or engaging them.

Very true, and that's why I'm more and more inclined to use an instance without downvotes. With the report button available, downvotes just seem like a shortcut for hivemind.

Thank you for your insight. I feel like AP cares more about the community, while nostr is about the individual.

Different kind of people will choose different approaches

I agree. I could see Beehaw survive longer than most other Lemmy instances, their community feeling is much stronger.

Interesting, thanks

Well done @scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech !

Also constant growth for !movies@lemm.ee and !yurop@lemm.ee

Lemmy's code isn't that easy to get into, otherwise there would be much more contributors to it.

The third biggest contributor after the two main devs has 59 commits.

Nice tutorial

Nice project. $249 seems a bit high, but I guess it's like the Fairphone, they can't save as much as the large manufacturers do.

Hello guys, just wanted to chime in and say that it's good to see you three explain things in a calm manner in this thread. Nice to see you around.

Great news, thanks for sharing

Good luck with this!

Interestingly enough, I always thought that Blahaj had a !trans community as they are a queer instance at their core, but it seems it wasn't the case.

Same user, just another comment

Well, you never know where people are, so it's safe to warn a 300 millions country

Well done!

Have you tried reaching out to them to talk to them about Lemmy?

Your instance is still in 18.5

Interesting

Looks interesting, I find it quite clear.

Just couldn't find the creds for the demo instance, but could still see what it would look like. Thanks for sharing!

True, forgot about that (luckily I woke up after it happened)

will need more deep searches.

To be fair, it doesn't take that much to create an account on one instance and then see if it works for you. I must have more than ten alts on several platforms

Interesting, Snapdragon or Exynos?

Sad to hear. I don't read news community, that's why I didn't see it

Any example of badly moderated communities? Asking because I didn't notice anything special.

Mbin has both Reddit and Twitter aspects bundled in.

I would suggest to find an instance in your mother language, it's the easiest way to find content in that language. When I want to see Spanish content, I go to masto.es. Some other languages use other platforms (usually Misskey forks)

The issue is that currently the 1-2 years used flagships have a lot of issues

• Samsung S21 and S22 have bad batteries, not even talking about Exynos if OP is based in the EU
• Pixel 6 and 7 have bad connectivity and also some battery issues
• OnePlus aren't what they used to be

That reduces quite a lot what should be the main source of used flagships

Very interesting, thanks!

ft.com Reddit chooses New York Stock Exchange for long-stalled IPO Hannah Murphy, Nicholas Megaw ~3 minutes

Social media platform Reddit has picked the New York Stock Exchange as the venue for its long-delayed stock market debut, according to two people familiar with the plans, a victory for the exchange in its long-running listings battle with rival Nasdaq.

The decision, ahead of an initial public offering that could take place as soon as next month, will be taken as the latest encouraging sign of life in the US IPO market after two years of limited activity.

San Francisco-based Reddit first lodged a confidential filing for an IPO with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in late 2021, but held off going public as tech stocks fell in the face of tough macroeconomic conditions and an advertising slump.

It would be the most high-profile tech group to list on Intercontinental Exchange’s NYSE since the height of the IPO market boom in 2020-21. Advertising software group Klaviyo was the only large software listing on NYSE last year, as Nasdaq lured chip designer Arm and delivery group Instacart.

Nasdaq has historically dominated the market for tech listings in particular, though NYSE has previously won large companies such as Uber and Spotify. Nasdaq’s dominance in tech has helped it pull ahead of its rival as the most popular venue for listings more broadly in recent years.

Reddit, once known as a bastion of free speech and criticised by experts for its light-touch approach to moderation, has sought to develop its advertising offering and better police the more controversial corners of its forums to satisfy marketers.

One person close to the company said it is aiming to achieve an initial valuation of at least $5bn when it goes public. It was valued at $10bn in its most recent private fundraising in 2021, but private company valuations tumbled in the past two years as interest rates increased.

The US IPO market has had a shaky start to the new year. Fundraising volumes have risen, with about $3.5bn raised compared to just $500mn in the same period in 2023, according to Dealogic, but the two largest deals — sportswear maker Amer Sports and healthcare group BrightSpring — both struggled to build investor interest and priced below their target ranges.

NYSE and Reddit declined to comment.

!movies@lemm.ee still going strong

Good luck with this!

I'm well aware, just reported what the video creator said

I skimmed through it, seems like a basic explanation of what the Fediverse is, mostly oriented on Mastodon.

The videast himself doesn't think he'll post his videos to the Fediverse as it lacks monetization.

I hope so, have a good one!

we deserve to die.

To be fair, maybe we are not even that alive to begin with.

Long story short, Google killed XMPP back in the days by federating with it, then added some non standard features, got most of the user base to migrate to Google chat, then defederated.

Sorry for this, seems like people misunderstood your comment

Seems crazy to me too
